“Great place for children and parents, coffee shop on site, toilets and adequate parking, It is a very nice facility in the heart of Petone handy to public transport and close to the main CBD of Petone, I highly recommend this facility as a very good safe place for children to play, well fenced with a safety gate, well earned 5 stars”

“My daughter spends her time very well there with mud most of the time they a tiny wood house where you can play mud or sand there with a water pump to play as well. A tiny cafe where you can get your own coffee as well.”
